1.60 High Index Glass Lenses are a type of eyeglass lens that is thinner and lighter than standard glass lenses, suitable for mild to moderate prescriptions (around +/- 3.00 to +/- 5.75 diopters).  They are a good choice for people who want a more comfortable, aesthetically pleasing look because the higher index of refraction means less material is needed, resulting in thinner and less bulky lenses.  

Key characteristics of 1.60 high index glass lenses:

  • Thinner and lighter: Compared to standard 1.53 index glass, 1.60 index lenses are approximately 20% thinner and lighter, providing better comfort and a more appealing look.
  • Prescription range: They are an excellent option for mild to moderate prescriptions, typically from  +/- 3.00 to +/- 5.75 diopters.
  • Optical clarity: 1.60 lenses offer good optical quality and a high Abbe value (around 44), which means there is less color distortion and sharper vision compared to some other materials like polycarbonate.
  • Durability: They are durable, with high impact and thermal resistance, and offer the natural scratch resistance of glass.
  • Appearance: The thinner profile helps to minimize the magnifying or minifying effect on the eyes, making them look more natural.
